ScrapyNode

Fully automatic Backpack.tf & Scrap.tf trading bot written in TypeScript.

How it works?

It fetches data from Backpack.tf and Scrapy.tf, compares their buy and sell prices of items and finally trades with their bots if profitable.

1. First it initializes APIs it uses and gets items. Optionally creates Backpack.tf alerts for them.
2. Because of the alerts, it can fetch unread notifications and mark them as read.
3. From alerts, it gets needed data, such as the name of the item or price.
4. Then it calculates profit, that the bot uses to check if it should trade the item by comparing prices between the two websites.
5. It updates key (currency) price and item data every KEY_UPDATE_INTERVAL and ITEMS_UPDATE_INTERVAL respectively.
